Remember. iJetur'*. :i 11 1 bade v? u say:
Tell liim we're well ami happy, thank the
Lord.
Hiii of our troubles since lie wont away,
You'll mind. uvick. ami never say a word.
Of cares and trouble- sure we've all our share.
The finest Summer isn't fair.
Tell him the spot! ; d heifer calved in May,
Sho died, poor thing, luit that you needn't
uiind;
Nor how the constant rain destroyed the hay;
Hut tell him God to us was over kind,
And when the fever spread the country o'er,
Hi* mercy kepi the ".-Kkncso" front our door.
l?e sure ami tell him how the neighbors came.
And cut the corn and stored it in the l?arn,
'Twould be as well to mention them by name?
Pat Murphy, Ned MeCabe and Shanius Cam,
And big Tim Haley from behind the hill:
Aud say, ngv.i!?oh, say 1 miss hint still
And then tell him with us lice 1 know who:
.Mavourneen hasn't she the win.-onte eys?
The dark. st. deepest, brightest bonniest blue
! evr saw. except in Summer skit s.
And such black hair!?It is the blackest hair
That ever rippled over neck so fair.
Tell him old Pincher IV :tc?l t tany a day,
"And moped," poor dogM was well he didn't
die
Crouched by the roadside, how he watched the
way.
And suidied the travelers as they passed him

Tell him the house is lonesome-like and cold,
The fire itself seems robbed of half its light:
But may be'tis my eyes are growing old,
And things look dim before my failing sight;
For all that tell him 'twas myself that spun
The shirts you bring and stitched them every
one.
Give him my blessing morning noon and night,
Tell him my prayers are onered for his good,
That he may keep his Maker iti sight,
.And firmly stand as his brave fathci* stood?
True to his name, his cnuutry and his God,
, Faithful to his home and steadfast still abroad.
RECIPES. .
Sfet Pudding.?.Seed and chop fine
one large tea-cupful of raisins; chop one
cupful of suet, having removed all the
skin; add a cupful of sour milk, one tea
spoonful of soda, a very little salt, three
eggs beaten together, and enough flour to
make a stiff batter. Steam two hours,
and eat with fairy butteror wine sauce.
Breakfast Dish.?Chop very fine
either cold beef, mutton or veal. To one
tea-cupful allow the same quantity of
grated bread, and if the latter is stale,
soak it a-few hours in warm milk, and
chop with the meat; to this quantity add
one egg, yolk and white well beaten together,
salt and pepper, and if liked, a
very small onion chopped fine; mix well
togher, and, flouring the hands, make into
balls and fry in hot lard.
Almond Cl'staiid.?Place over the
stove one pint of milk, in which put one
large handful of bitter almonds that have
been bleached and broken up. Let it
boil un{il highly flavored with the sil-/
monds: then strain a id set it aside to.
cool. Noil one quart of rich milk witbout
any thing iri it, an 1 when cold add
the flavored milk, io.'f a pint of sand
sugar, and eight eggs, the yolks and
whites beaten se|>arut?-)v. stirring all well
together. Bake in caps, and when cold,
place a macaroon on the top of each
cup.
Green Or it rants Both. i;n.?Currants
are quite an improvement togoosc
berries in pie?, ami alone form a very
nice fruit pie. Strip from the steins,- and
allow one pound of sugar to three of the
fruit. In placing in the kettle, alternate
the sugarand fruit, and do not fili
the vessel more than two thirds full.?
Put on the hack of the stove until the
sugar melts and the juice starts, then set
in a hotter plaee, and after boiling a few
minutes; fill the jars and seal iiniuediatelv;
do not remove the kettle from the
stove, but fill one jar at a time, and seal
when boiling hot.
IYmpkix 1*1 r.?Cut the pumpkin ir.:<
slices, ami boil until tender in as liitl
water as possible; watch carefully t: at
it does not scorch; uruin cfl'all the. water,
putting the stew-pan on a warm part
of the stove, that it may dry oil' the timisture,
for ton or fifteen minutes. Ma ii
and ruh through \ sieve, adding. \vi ile
warm, a small piece of butter. To every
quart of the pumpkin, after mashing, add
one quart of new inilk ami f ur eggs, the
yolks and whites beaten separately.?
\V l.'.t,, tii.ci' ' h> and cinnamon an 1
nutmeg as do-ired; a very little brandy
is a greut improvement. It is as well to
heat the batter sealding hot before pouring
into the pie dishes.

sin'l in ?lrv weather We practice this
twice a week, and unless we neglect it
are never troubled with Hecks. This
method is practicable in all milk rooms
except where the Hour is so tight as
to prevent the water from running oil",
when so much water could not be used.
Where milk is kept in cellars, cream is

;,ot usually affected in this way. but if it [
were, 1 should try a few pails ot water,!
unless I was certain the air was as damp j
as could be without causing the cream j
to mold. }\'e have never had any milk
so far from a "normal condition'' in this I
respect but that plenty of water would j
always restore it at once, and 1 advise 1
all who are annoyed with white flecks j
in butter to try?it and prevent the air ;
from blowing directly on the cream while
rising, when they will probably have no
further trouble.
Workixu t\ the Garden.?A good
many people do not know bow to hoc,
and a woman only chops. Take long,
(juick sweeps, move the soil from one i
place to another, and fill low places.?
1 The rule should be not only to stir but to
j move the soil, for unless it is moved, it
cannot be stirred, and the air and beat
cannot get in. Culture with a hoe is
far more effective than with a plow.?
i Beside, the soil is to he made fine, 1
: don't pretend to be much of a farmer, for
I was brought up to a profession; still, I
have fair crops of potatoes, corn and
oats, which won't do well any more; and
as for mv garden, I never allow weeds to
get a start. My time of work is before
breakfast, if 1 have not been out at night,
; and I commence half an hour before sun
i rise, even if I have to take a nap after
i dinner. All my weeds are fat and tcn,
del', and with a sharp hoe T lay them
; right and left. I never pretend to work
! long after sunrise. Perhaps the best
i time to select is late in the afternoon,
almost as the sun is going down. One
O # n
will work fast then; he will he unite certain
to work well, and to digest his supper,
and he will have pleasant thoughts
considering how seeds germinate and
plants grow. I often work until dark
and the stars come out. Look at your
work next morning. The newly stirred
O t J
soil is fresh and damp as if a nice shower
had fallen, and should rain fall the ground
will become more moist than if no work
had been done. Work, do I say? Nj>, it
is 'not work as people understand the

The Age of Tkout.?A piece of curious
and vcr^r interesting evidence of the
age of speckled trout lias come to light,
which will attract the attention of all fish
culturists. Prof. Agassiz suggested to
; (Jeorgc S. Page, Esq., of New York,
j President of the Oquossoc Angling Association,
a means for dcterming approximately
the age of the famous Kangelys
! trout, which grow - to the remarkable
I weight of seven, eight, and even ten
i pounds. The mode adopted was to take
! a small platinum wire, which was point;
ed at one end and flattened at the other,
: iind, marked on the flat end with the
! weight and year. Then insert this - wire
! in the dorsal fin, selecting a mark accor!
ding with the weight at the time, and reo
n
; turn the fish to the water. In 1870 Mr.
i Page and others marked and liberated
| some fifty trout in this way, and the
! practice had continued each season since.
| No marked fish has been captured until
' this season, when in a lot of trout
brought back by tlie artist Moran who
was one of a large party wlio visited
tlie.se waters not long sinet* one fish was
found marked "1S70, half pound." and:
weighing, when captured, nearly two
pounds and a quarter, showing that the |
trout had grown one and three-quarter
pounds in three years. The incident oc-;
casions much interest among all trout
fisherman.?Osii'if/o Time*.
Selecting a Wife.?We have heard
of this te-?t being applied to several girls,
l but John Starklev was the man who applied
it to the selection of a wife. The
St ark leys and the llcllcnans had been
friends through several generations. In
the present generation there was in ihe
family, one on. audio the family of the
\ llelkeaps there were five daughters; and
it had been arranged between the parents
that the heir of the Stark leys should take
him a wife from among the daughters of
llelknap. John the heir aforesaid, at
the age of five and twenty, had returned I
from his tmvels, when his father hade
> him select from the daughters of the
I friendly house the one lie would have for
:i wife. John was a Jj.itiftil sou, and his
!r 'iT was whole, ami as the maidens wore
til fair to look upon lie accepted the situate'!,
and determined to master it if possible.
*
.John -pent several evenings in the
. .tijcwt V of the young ladies and it was
. ii ull to deride which was the most
charming, though his Hiiicy tasted most
imgeriiiglv upon the youngest?not that
In was the handsomest hut die appeared
th<- niJ-t sendhle.
One day John was invited to dinner,
ami in advance of the family lie made
hi> way to the hall ami threw a hroom
upi it th tloor, ilireeily across the diningroom.
1?v and hy the summons sounded
h?r the meal, John watched for the result.

''Nearer My God to Tube."?Ixmoktality
by one song.?Sarall FoWlcl-,
the writer of this touching hymn,
was worthy of the name, for Sarah signifies
a princess, and sweeter fragrance
lias rarely exuded from any flowers in
the garden. The gifted girl married Mr.
William R. Adams, an English engineer
of superior abilities. She was of frail
constitution, and amid many bodily sufferings,
she kept her pen at work upon
various poetical productions. At what
time she caught the inspiration to compose
that one immortal hymn, which is
now sung round the globe, we have never
learned. Probably it was at Some
season of peculiar trial, when the bruised
spirit emitted the odor of a child-likcsubmission
to a chastening father. It must
1 i ii iv i 1 ir
nave oozed irorn a oieeaing "can*. hcj
hymn first appeared in a volume of sacred
lyrics by Mr. Fox, in England,
about the year 1741. The authoress
did not live to catch the fame it was to
bring, for she died in 1740, aged forty
four. She was buried near Marlow, in
Essex. Presently the hymn began to
work its way in various collections of
songs of worship. It was married to the
tune of 'Bethany,* and everybody caught
the strain. In noonday gatherings for
prayer it soon became so familiar that,
if anybody struck up the hymn, the whole
audience joined in.
Receiving by Tonuue.?A good
deal has been said about the exploit of
receiving messages bv tongue, and 110
doubt when first done, it was a curious
and very smart operation. We do not
know who first executed this lingual feat,
but we give a record of our own superintendence,
which you my amuse. Mr
Morse has certainly 110 claim to the experiment
although, we do not know how
even this could have been done without
the Morse code.
Tlie record of this experiment we wrote
down and published in the Telegraph
Review in 1853. The "Zook" referred
to was General Samuel K. Zook, who
fell bravely at the* battle of Gettysburg,
one of the best men who ever put on telegraphic
harness.
Speaking of breaks, which occurred
often, we wrote as follows:
"We shall never forget one of those
breaks. We were then in Philadelphia,
S. T\. Zook and we the only force. Poor
Zook! thy memory comes back to us with
sad recollection of the time when we
agreed to go out and "hunt the break."
Large Grove batteries were then (1846)
60, 70 and 80 cups. Well, Samuel went
on his errand, carrying his climbers,
soldering pot, file, an old pair of unmentionables,
and a twodollar bill to pavexm-rxoa
Tt was acrreed tn test at Norris
town, fourteen miles off. The test was
ordeied to ho done thus:
"Samuel you will select a wet spot, into
this stick a peiee of wire four or five
i feet long; brighten the cml with n file :
o7 o
then take down the wire of the line previously
broken, and by manipulating the
two ends in the same manner as the office
key, I will gill get what you say.
"But how will I get your answer?"
quered Sam.
"Listen, thusly," we replied. "When
you have finished your message to me,
which make of such a character that yes
i or no will be the answer, put the line
wire on your tongue, and if yes, 1 will
write " " (aye, aye); if no, I w ill open the
key."
So away went Sam, found a convenient
puddle, and stood in the mud. lie
had brown kids on bis bands. A curious
crowd was round him, lie looked very
silly, no doubt, in that mud puddle, tapping
two little wires together. But Sam
was both a soldier and a philosopher. He
was on duty and a crowd did not trouble
him. lie sent iiis message, it was
thus:
"If the line is all right now say, aye,
! aye. S. K. Z."
Now, be it remembered, the battery
was large and fre-h and strong. Eighty
cups were brewing their sour broth up in
the garret of the Merchants' Exchange,
ready to blaze away on their mission to
Gotham. Sam brightened his wire and
put it in on his tongue. lie had planted
his feet in the mud; a wicked thought
came o'er us. Down went the key with
the most determined mischief. 'Twa.s
done, well done, and dene quickly. Boor
Sam lay fiat in the mud. A solemn silence
reigned on the wire for the space
of five minute-. But Samuel came to.?
Oh! how he swore! the long-drawn swear
came slowly and solemnly over the wire
until our own hair s.<?od on end. We
had never seen a telegraph in wrath helbre,
and it rather took us down. It was
:i prodigious swear, irise mei lerrnue.
In a lew I ours after Samuel K Zook
walked into tlie ollice with his .soldering
jiot ami tliihL'S covered with Norri.stown
mud from hi.-, hoots to his hair, and his
tongue ha IIy ldistered. An ill-tim. d
laugh made him think we had done all
this on purpose, and he looked a verv
hadlv-nhusi d man, although he often afterward-!
laughed over it. lie never
ri-l.i d himself in such a work again, !>ut

who received a incs-age on his tongue.

The great demand for these Spectacles has induced
